Most golfers think in-season training should just be about maintenance — light workouts, mobility, and avoiding soreness. But if your goal is to play your best, you need more than maintenance. You need to stay powerful. That’s where contrast training comes in.
What Is Contrast Training?
Contrast training pairs a heavy strength movement with an explosive one.
For example:
-
Bulgarian split squats followed by split squat jumps
-
Pull ups followed by med ball slams
You lift something heavy, then move explosively. This primes your nervous system through a phenomenon called Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) — a short-term window where your body produces more force, faster.
Why It’s Perfect for In-Season
In Lift Heavy, Swing Fast, our in-season contrast training blocks are designed to:
-
Keep volume low and speed high
-
Hit total-body power without causing soreness
-
Help you feel fast, strong, and ready to play
Each workout targets the full body but avoids fatigue. You’ll leave feeling sharper, not drained — exactly what you need in-season.
